Condition: Fair. Unangenehmer Geruch; Leichte Abnutzungen; Farbveränderung durch Alter/Sonne. A twelfth-century Sicilian cat burglar snatches a sack of artefacts from the king's geographer's library, and the tools and talismans of transmutation - and eternal life - are soon scattered all over the world.
